<big><b>Dustin Ackley </b> | Grade: F </big>
<em>second baseman</em>
Many had hoped Ackley would bounce back this season and live up to his No. 2-overall selection in the 2009 draft. That hasn’t happened, and fans are sad. After a stint in Triple-A, he now finds himself back with the M's in the outfield. The second half will be very telling if this ''slump'' is going to be a permanent occurrence or if Ackley can find his swing again.

In his second stint with the Mariners, Chavez's contributions this season have been quiet but not unnoticed. In his 12th year in the bigs, he has stepped up and given the Mariners some pop at the plate and has filled in nicely as Seattle suffered injuries. Can't complain much.

The rookie added some much-needed spark to the lineup and hasn't put up bad numbers, either. One of Seattle's top prospects before his promotion, Franklin looks to have lots of potential in the majors.

It’s not a huge surprise the Mariners have a Cy Young candidate in their rotation, but if you thought Hisashi Iwakuma would be that candidate, pat yourself on the back. The second-year pitcher out of Japan has been nothing short of spectacular this season, using a combination of fastball location and a nasty splitter, slider, curveball combination to baffle hitters. Halfway though the year, Iwakuma takes home top honors in this Mariners class.

We saw Liddi again for just eight games at the big-league level, and once again he wasn't that remarkable. But just eight games in the majors ain't enough for a full grade, so he gets an ''incomplete.''

Maurer may well deserve an ''incomplete,'' but he did start 10 games at the beginning of the year. The Mariners, after his impressive spring training, leap-frogged Maurer from Double-A to the majors -- and it ended up being, indeed, too early a promotion. Maurer showed promising stuff, but still needs time to hone his control.

With the closer role still up for grabs, Medina may have a chance to win that spot in the second half.
